PRESS RELEASE – It hasn’t been business as usual here in Aberdeen! Today, the IronBirds are excited to announce the new 1,500 square foot high-definition video board and live score line display for the 2017 season.

Funded entirely by Ripken Baseball, the new additions will be fully installed and operational in time for the IronBirds’ 2017 home opener against the Hudson Valley Renegades on June 19!

“Our investment represents much more than just an improvement to the facility,” said IronBirds General Manager Matt Slatus. “This project is a testament of our commitment to providing the ultimate, family-fun experience, as well as our dedication to the Harford County community. Our fans are going to love the upgrade and all that it brings.”

Manufactured and installed by industry-leader Daktronics, the display will measure 30 feet high by 50 feet wide and feature a 15HD pixel layout for an enhanced viewing experience from all parts of the ballpark. The new video board and line display will replace the original display that was installed prior to the IronBirds’ inaugural season in 2002.

Also new in 2017 will be a free Community Movie Night Series presented by Giant Food. Throughout the summer while the team is on the road, fans, families and the local community will be invited to enjoy movies from the outfield lawn of Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium.

The IronBirds’ new 5-game “Best Ticket Plan Ever,” featuring tickets to five sold out games, plus an exclusive IronBirds hat, are on-sale now. For more information or to purchase the “Best Ticket Plan Ever,” call an IronBirds representative at 410-297-9292 or visit http://www.IronBirdsBaseball.com.
